SlantStickers Anonymous Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Consensus has always been a brush/near miss. No shock. It's not a shock, but it's a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSnowman Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Never seen such model consistency since I started watching models. They all had this being a Beast, and being a Beast in the ocean on Thursday. It's now early Tuesday morning..... and it's the same thing. WHY can't we get that kind of ****** consistency when something shows a Blizzard 7 days out?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfishsnowman Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I keep seeing reminders of the early Feb 1992 monster that missed NE for the most part and clobbered Nova Scotia. It has been a pretty challenging winter with the models compared to other winters.It happens.... March has been tough. Snow or no snow from this look to be monster, been a good winter. We are going to have some serious backdoor fronts I would imagine in regards temp gradient with chilly ocean temps deeper into April/May.i brought that storm up the other day, i remember the storm was so interesting bc the winter wx in sne that year was a yawner and i think it produced up to 4 plus ft on the level for ns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nwbostonwx Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Jim Cantore @JimCantore 3m If EURO follows GFS it looks like @ericfisher and I will be building a bar tab rather than covering a blizzard on the Cape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Englander Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 i brought that storm up the other day, i remember the storm was so interesting bc the winter wx in sne that year was a yawner and i think it produced up to 4 plus ft on the level for ns Yes that storm was a major beast and a big miss. At the time I was in Ashland MA. I remember we had a winter storm watch up on the last day of Jan that yr which was later downgraded to an advisory for up for 3-5 inches of snow and we received no more than a few flurries in a very gusty February Saturday night. If memory serves me correct the cape had a winter storm warning out and received a general 3-7"...might be rusty on those numbers without checking. The only good thing about 1991/1992 was March 1992. Cold and Snowy. Yeah what a storm. This one now has had shades of it for awhile. I am not giving up that I may get maybe an inch or two but confidence is quite low.

codfishsnowman Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 sounds right for the 1992 storm, there were a few bands of snow showers that briefly got back into central ct....i lived in bristol at the time and remember some flurries but most of the meat was way east, cc and the fish but it was a reminder of what could happen if all atmospheric ingredients came together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a big one for Nova Scotia. We saw flurries and the stars in clouds that seemed to be racing across the sky. We will see where this goes exactly soon....

CCHurricane Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Who the hell knows what's going to happen, cause the models sure don't . For Cape Cod: NAM = 12-16 inches Euro = 6-10 GFS/GGEM = 2-3 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsniss Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Go to sleep guys... 0z Euro doesn't pull off a miracle. Nearly carbon copy of 12z Euro. Warning criteria to PYM east. Maybe up to 10" in outer Cape. 2-4" in Boston metro to PVD. Good night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Still a fascinating storm. But seriously by now if I'm not getting >6 I have no use for any snow. So I'm not looking forward to it at all but am looking forward to my guaranteed 70s+ for 2 weeks when I go off on vaca the night of 4/5. I have to say that unless this system performs differently than close in guidance this month has lowered my winter grade to B- at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Consensus has always been a brush/near miss. No shock. Eh, I wouldn't exactly call warning snows Bos to prov and southeast a near miss, the euro is still a good dose of snow. This storm may have surprises.It doesn't really matter anyway, this is the worst ending to winter I can recall. We haven't sniffed warm weather this month, but still have no snow to show for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Yes..other than one of the coldest winters on record..a very forgettable winter overall The cold was something but the dryness when it mattered and particularly the final 6 weeks lowered it a full grade to me. Too bad...it could have been one of the all time greats. Maybe this system will pleasantly surprise but now it may be more likely that you win your bet.

The atmosphere just decided that it was not going to set up as conducive for delivering snow to our region. The epitome of a cold, dry pattern. Scooter will win the bet as SE of PYM on the Cape will get a couple inches of snow. Certainly ot what worried me. My worry was a n elevation event in ORH on north..no a cape scraper in late March..LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
